When the length of the wire increases voltage drop across the wire will occur.

There are two factors that can result in voltage drop. One diameter of the wire, two length of the wire.

Voltage drop increases with increase in length of wire, whereas voltage drop decreases with increase in diameter (cross section area) of the wire.

Answer

If you are asking what happens to the voltage across a length of wire when its length increases, the answer is nothinghappens! The voltage applied to the wire is determined by the supply, not by the load (i.e. the wire).

What is effect of voltage and current by changing the length of wire?

By changing the length of wire, say reducing it, the resistance will drop and that will increase current flow but the voltage is less likely to change V=IR.


What would happen if the length of wire increase what happens to the capacitance?

capacitance also increase


What will happens to current when cable length increases?

With a constant voltage and increase in wire length will increase the end to end resistance and therefore the current will decrease.


What happens to the electric current in a wire when voltage is increaced?

If the load resistance is constant, then increasing the voltage will increase the current by the same proportion -i.e. doubling the voltage will double the current.


What are two ways to increase the current in a wire?

Increase the voltage applied to the wire. Decrease the resistance of the wire.


Can you list three ways you can change the current in a circuit?

Increase, decrease, or remove the load <<>> Change the voltage and the current will also change in direct proportion, Ohms law.


What happened with thickness of wire if its length increase?

If you increase the length of a wire while keeping the volume constant, the wire's thickness will decrease proportionally. This is because the volume of the wire is distributed over a longer length, resulting in a thinner wire.


What is the relationship between wire size length of run and voltage drop?

The wire resistance is proportional to the length of wire divided by its cross-section area. The voltage drop is proportional to the resistance times the current.


Will 14-2 wire push 15 amps at 80ft?

Yes, 14-2 wire is rated to carry up to 15 amps of current. However, the length of the wire, in this case 80ft, can increase the resistance of the wire, potentially causing voltage drop. It's recommended to consult with an electrician to ensure the wire size and length are suitable for the intended application.


How the length and thickness of wires could affect the brightness of light bulbs?

Voltage loss. On a long run you will loose some voltage so it is sometimes necessary to increase the wire size to compensate for the voltage loss. This loss of voltage will cause a light to be dim as it is not receiving the correct voltage that is was designed to use.


Does the length of the wire affect the brightness of the bulb?

Wire has a certain amount of resistance. As electricity flows down the wire, some of the voltage is lost in the wire before reaching the lamp. So, the longer the wire, the less voltage the lamp gets, and the dimmer it will be.


Relationship between the length of wire and its electric current?

The electrons in a conducting wire are loose and can move freely. When the circuit is closed, a potential difference is set up across the terminals. The battery maintains this potential difference. Then the electrons in the wire move towards the positive terminal of the battery. This flow of electrons constitute the electric current.
